Former U.S. President Barack Obama speaks at a rally as he campaigns for Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2020, in Orlando, Fla. AP |
Former U.S. President Barack Obama criticized President Donald Trump Tuesday for coddling dictators, including North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, and giving them everything they want.
"You think he is going to stand up to dictators?" the former president asked while speaking in support of his former vice president and Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden.
Obama's remarks came one day after Trump said Kim, along with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping and some 40 others are sharp as a "tack," insisting that Biden would not be capable of dealing with them.
Trump went on to claim that they don't want to deal with Biden, and that one of them has actually told him that they hope Trump wins the upcoming election "because we don't want to deal with somebody that sleeps all of the time."
Obama said he believed what Trump said is true.
